Hanged for the First Time, Page’s Championship Dreams End
MJF defeated “Hangman” Adam Page in a devastating Texas Death Match to retain his AEW World Championship. The match was a grueling encounter featuring broken glass, barbed wire, tables, light tubes, and skewers. Both competitors bled profusely as the stipulation demanded a 10-count victory, preventing Page from ever challenging again. MJF choked out Page over the ropes using a chain-style hold, securing the victory.
Page spent the entire contest trying to inflict punishment but couldn’t overcome MJF’s crafty ringside awareness and use of weapons. The champion used a birthday card as a weapon, a taunt given it was his 30th birthday. “And he just got his hair done!” announced commentator Bryan Danielson as skewers were placed on MJF’s head during the final sequences.
